I specifically have to have a Independent and Dependent Variable. However, I'll do that for repeated trials, which I have to do at least 5 of each

Woww! Please tell me more and any advice! I am scared because the delta v and time can be calculated using equations, so this experiment might not be as "valid" as that of others in the competiton

I'm glad you think it's a great idea! I've never done a science fair in my life and it was a bit nerve wracking seeing the biology kids do stuff about DNA Replication and bacteria. My hope is that my project is interesting and unique compared to anyone else (my science teacher said she has...

It's been a long time, but now I'm in my final year of highschool. I'm gonna use Orbiter for my science fair project!

Greetings Orbiters! I am using Orbiter for my High-School's Science Fair. I will be comparing various rendezvous methods of an XR-2 Ravenstar to the ISS. These include Direct Hohmann Transfer from 200km circular Parking Orbit, Launching into the target orbit then tangentially raising/lowering...

In fact, Go Play in Space even says to get a copy of Orbiter from CD from a magazine, apparently

I did find an abandoned website which had a game based on the orbiter engine, though It has been ever abandoned. It should be in the thousands of bookmarks I have archived. I heard that the MFDs for Orbiter are compatible with it also.

I enjoy flying the XR5 as a space cargo/ passenger pilot, ferrying from Wide-Awake International to a Lunar Village I was working on (so far abandoned, maybe in the future I will continue work on it). I also enjoy doing accurate and precision direct reentries back to Wide-Awake using clever...

Thank you so much for your response! Also, is Fundamentals of Astrodynamics a good book to read and learn the calculations/physics behind such orbital mechanics (including transfers)? I saw the book being reccommended in Go Play in Space. Can a person like me read it? Is it appropriate for...

Hello friends. It has been a long time since I last posted. Now I have started 11th grade in the IB Diploma Programme. For my Physics Internal Assessment and the 4000 word, interdisciplinary extended-essay, I was wondering if I could use Orbiter to conduct research and write papers about...

I would love to see Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova!

BurtnTime MFD has a braking distance. I just set dv to the orbital speed, select engine, take a look at the braking distance (It says something distance), activate attitude autopilot, and excecute the burn at the correct distance according to map MFD.

I would learn IMFD. It has helped greatly. Although I ahven't gone to mars, I have returned from moon several times. My favourite thing to do is an inverted, direct, reentry, and landing. IMFD allows you to do such things, and is a powerful tool.

Is it possible to do a traditional, In-plane lunar transfer using IMFD? I know you can do a offplane lunar transfer. Or would that just be using the Map program and Delta-V Program? I understand the usefulness of off-plane lunar transfer, especially when you are launching from high lattitude...

Is a mechanism to press the actual touchscreen buttons that is connected to a physical button viable?

I still have faith. I saw Dgatsoulis' demo on youtube, it was very nice.

I have got the same problem....

Dang I never knew there was Orbiter Memes. I had some fun going through these. Sorry for necroposting though.

Did you just predict Ukraine-Russia Conflict?
